I was thinking we had 2 picks in the 6th, but it looks like I was wrong...

Yeah, that is the other 6th round pick, but according to at least this site the Saints would have a another 6th round pick, which I guess they've received from Washington through some transaction.

New Orleans Saints: 2012 NFL Draft

And here is another one stating the Saints have two 6th round picks:

The Saints' picks are as follows:

2nd round (59th overall) which was taken away by the league
3rd round (90th overall)
4th round (122nd overall)
5th round (154th overall)
6th round (166th overall) - via Redskins for Jammal Brown
6th round (167th overall) - via Dolphins for Reggie Bush
7th round (217th overall)

Further digging around reveals that there were conditions on the WAS 6th rounder, so I'm not sure if the Saints received it or not:

If New Orleans receives Washington's third-round pick, then the Redskins will get a 2011 fifth-round pick back from the Saints. However, if Washington's third-round pick goes to Philadelphia, then the Saints will send a 2011 sixth- or seventh-round pick back to the Redskins.

There is also a conditional 2012 sixth-round pick involved. Should Brown play 90 percent of the plays next season or get voted to the Pro Bowl, Washington will send its 2012 sixth-round pick to New Orleans. After Saturday's trade, Washington has six picks left in the 2011 draft.
